Is there any way to turn on the camera flash/LED on Android?. |

Yes, but you'll need to extern it yourself: On: camera = Camera.open(); Parameters p = camera.getParameters(); p.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH); camera.setParameters(p); camera.startPreview(); Off: camera = Camera.open(); Parameters p = camera.getParameters(); p.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_OFF); camera.setParameters(p); camera.stopPreview(); And you'll need to add the permissions to the manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" /> More info: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6068803/how-to-turn-on-camera-flash-light-programmatically-in-android |

Thanks for that bit of info. I've not learned extern yet so I guess I will need to look into how it is done in order to do more powerful stuff. I will start googling about externs a bit later. ;-) |
